Despite financial difficulties, the developers of the horror MMORPG Dogma: Eternal Night are not giving up.
The crowdfunding of the game is being driven by the sale of Founder’s Packs through the official website. So far, nearly $15,000 have been raised. The team believes that this milestone can be surpassed in the coming month. This would lift a significant burden off the developers’ shoulders, as they would finally be able to purchase the software urgently needed to advance the MMO’s development.
Funding is progressing
Additionally, the setup of the first real game server would be on the agenda, allowing backers to start testing an alpha soon. Up until now, it has not been possible to set up a stable server with the existing hardware. However, this is expected to change with the funds raised through crowdfunding. Moreover, preparations are currently being made for the launch of a Patreon campaign, through which additional funds are to be raised.
Dialogues are important
The team also talked about the game’s dialogue system. It is currently undergoing a complete overhaul. The aim is to prevent players from simply skipping dialogues as they do in other MMORPGs in order to farm content as quickly as possible. Engaging with NPCs should be something special. Therefore, a very prominent dialogue window is currently being developed, which brings conversations with NPCs to the forefront and presents them atmospherically. Gestures and pronunciation are expected to play an important role.
Another system currently in development is turning NPCs into servants. They can then carry out tasks for the player while the player is offline. NPCs should be able to generate income for the player, conduct sabotage, or expand the player’s influence. However, this is still in its early stages, and several questions need to be addressed. Dogma: Eternal Night places you in the role of a vampire who wants to expand their influence in a large world.
